Belkin Charge and Sync Dock with Earpods for iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5th Generation

I never leave ratings. I just had to with this one to warn everyone about this product.

Since you're using your own Lightning cable which you feed at the bottom of this dock, whenever you pull out the iphone, the cord pulls through with it and it never comes off until you have to use another hand to separate the cord from the iphone. After all this, you need to unlatch the bottom and feed the cord back through the hole and then put the plate back on.

this is a song and dance that happens EVERY TIME and Belkin, via facebook message, admitted this was a huge flaw and a quick refund would be issued without fuss. I guess they didn't want me leaving a review on Amazon, which im doing anyway.

awful awful awful.

if i could give this a -5 star rating that wouldn't be enough. removing a phone from a dock shouldn't take 3 minutes each time. but, alas, Belkin rushed a product yet again for the sake of user experience and coming out to market first. shame on you, Belkin.

Since the cable isn't supplied it fits into a provided slot and every time you pull the phone out the cable become dislodged forcing you to reinsert it constantly. Save your money and wait for a dock with the lightning connection built in.

This dock is so bad I would hesitate to ever buy anything from Belkin again. As other reviewers have noted, there is nothing to hold the cable in place. Moreover it does not sit flush with the base, so your phone is sitting on top of the Apple connector -and nothing else. When you remove your phone it pulls the cord out of its socket; there's no edge to lock the cable tip in place. While it claims to be a "sync dock", there is nothing on this unit that has anything to do with the sync function. The "audio port" lets you connect a pair of headphones to the base so you can listen while charging. But you can do the same thing by skipping this piece of junk and just charging your phone directly from the cable.

I thought this would be a nice way to keep the phone off the table while charging. I get that you have to use your own cable, but I at least though that the thing would be engineered well enough that the phone would not be supported by the Lightning connector and the audio jack.

Nope. The phone is piked on its audio and Lightning connector with absolutely no strain relief. Poor design, not interested in a potential repair on either port. Audio connector on the stand does rotate down in case you decide that you'd rather put all the stress on the Lightning connector.

Not quite sure what I'm going to do with this thing now.

Nice unit, good weight, works with covers, etc. I have noticed the connector comes out , (which people are whining about), a tad at times but I remedied that. All you have to do is tie a small knot outside the hole the cable comes out of. Solved the problem easily. Literally took seconds to do. Other options for the problem would be some hot glue, small tie wrap, silicone of whatever. So come on folks. Stop whining over something so simple. It's a nice dock. The cable prob is NOT a deal breaker!
